Thousands ready for Garma Festival in Arnhem Land
The Garma Festival is Australia’s largest Indigenous gathering, a four-day celebration of Yolngu life and culture held in remote north-east Arnhem Land.
Hosted by the Yothu Yindi Foundation, Garma showcases traditional miny’tji (art), manikay (song), bunggul (dance) and story-telling, and is an important meeting point for the clans and families of the region.
The Festival’s over-riding cultural mission is to provide a contemporary environment for the expression and presentation of traditional Yolngu knowledge systems and customs, and to share these practices in an authentic Yolngu setting.
The 24th annual Garma will take place between Friday 2 August – Monday 5 August, 2024 at the Gulkula ceremonial site about 40km from Nhulunbuy on the Gove Peninsula, NT.
